Video: VMA Live Performance of "The Catalyst"

This.

 

I think the band did very well last night. Just sucks that they had to cut the song so short...

 

Well he isn't technically "screaming". But it is still really hard to keep singing in an aggresive style like that. His most aggresive vocals on the album. Not counting the screaming part on Blackout

 

Any Tube links around?

 

My Fiance' asked "Why is he wearing sunglases" And I responded with "Obviously because he is burning underneath a thousand suns!"

 

Mike voice was really great! i actually prefer it over Chesters at some points, his is much more raw.
It was Great job for first performence.. I just hope it gets alittle better.

Only big bad thing was what chester was wearing, damn he always look stupid when he knows his on Tv.... And i hate people with sun glasses live, it makes them look so erogant

 

Haha... I see what you did there. WIN!!!

 

I think the guys were great!! They can't only get better from there! Proud of the guys!

 

Hey i found a Youtube link but it's not worth posting, i thought Brad and Dave had learned to play left handed, until i realized the video had been flipped...

 

My YouTube links got shut down by Viacom within minutes. You can refer to the post below and watch it on Vimeo.

I can't make out from the video- is Rob singing as well?

Thats in very good quality, despite the asianess, but viacom has not reached it!

 

If i'm hearing that right then thats a horrible performance! Did they use some sort of voice alteration to try and match the album version? If so, then I don't get why because it came off sounding terrible! Why not just do it without the voice effect as it would sound better. BIO sounded bad too when they performed it at VMA's so maybe its an MTV thing!

Song was cut to shit too and wasn't even the same length as radio edit!

P.S. - If Rob adds anymore equipment to his kit he won't be visable! Ha

 

I am actaully always glad when I can hear a little bit of imperfection in TV preformances, because it means they aren'
t lip syncing like every other artist that preforms on the MTV music awards nights.

 

Err....why not just take it as a first performance of the song then?

 

That's another thing...I thought they already performed TC at that K-Rock breakfast thing???

 

I had to endure hours of horrible music from JB to Gaga and all the crap in between. It was horrible even with the volume on mute. The only people their I would consider Artists were Eminem & LP.
They really made LP play the song toward the end of the show for a reason >.>
The performance was good though, not as awesome as I expected but good.
Am I the only one that thinks Mike messed up near the end though? Towards the end when he sings the "We're a broken people living under..." part but he kind of choked and did the "Burn inside the fires of a thousand suns, For the sin..." part.
No? I'm the only one? Oh well, I must've been hallucinating. :3
=D
Oh and ATS release tomorrow for the people, like myself, who refuse to listen to the leaks. I won't get it 'till the 15th 'cause I live farther away but... Oh well :3

 

has anyone seen the rehersal from saturday its on youtube you can hear mike play a little when they come for me@the beginning but this rehersal of the catalyst was awesome so good proably just how awesome it will be in NYC tomorrow and chester sounds great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msNWVhm2QYY check out you wont be dissapointed promise you

 

Does anyone know if the other songs they played are on the internet?

 

That was awesome! Don't rip on Chester guys, It's not easy singing like him! I can tell you that because I'm a singer...kinda. Mike did well, the whole gang did well, it was a very good performance. If you think it was poor, that's because you don't know what it's like. Okay, I g2g go...LinkinPeaceOut! Bye.
